The WPX Hosting alternative
The reasons people leave WPX Hosting for us.
Most of it comes down to honest pricing, real speed, and not having to pay extra for the basics.
No bandwidth meter
WPX allows 100 GB on Starter and 200 GB on Business. Our bandwidth is unmetered, so images and video do not turn into a plan upgrade.
More CPU where WordPress needs it
WPX Starter allocates half a CPU core and 9 PHP workers. WP Tango plans sit on AMD Ryzen 9950X and Intel 14900K hardware with fewer sites per server, which is what admin and checkout speed actually depend on.
Redis on every plan, not just stores
WPX adds Redis on its WooCommerce tiers. We run LiteSpeed Enterprise and Redis object caching on every plan, including the smallest.
Backups every 4 hours, kept 30 days
WPX backs up daily and keeps 28 days. We snapshot every 4 hours and keep 30 days, included on every plan.
